Product details

Random-phase triac driver for AC load switching

The MOC3073SM is an onsemi random-phase (non-zero-crossing) triac output optoisolator. It drives a triac or SCR in the AC power path, firing at any point in the mains cycle — the phase angle is set by the LED trigger current, not by a zero-cross detect circuit. Rated for 4170 Vrms isolation between the logic-side LED and the output triac, it suits line-voltage applications up to 800 V off-state. The 1 kV/µs minimum static dV/dt keeps the output from false-triggering on fast line transients or inductive kickback. Operating temperature spans -40 to 85 °C, covering outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor motor starters, and HVAC damper controls without a temperature derate.

Trigger current and hold current margins

Maximum LED trigger current (Ift) is 6 mA. Typical hold current (Ih) is 540 µA. Forward voltage (Vf) is 1.18 V typical, and the LED can handle up to 60 mA continuous DC forward current, giving headroom for higher drive to reduce trigger delay in phase-angle applications.

Frequently asked questions

Is MOC3073SM zero crossing or random phase?

Random phase — it has no zero-crossing circuit. The triac fires at whatever phase angle the LED trigger current is applied, making it suitable for phase-control dimmers, soft-start circuits, and universal-motor speed controls.
